The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

The site was formerly partially occupied by the early 20th century Joyce Green Hospital. The fieldwork was commissioned by RSK ADAS Ltd on behalf of in BAM Construction Ltd in advance of construction of a new school. Modern deposits and features, all probably associated with the former hospital, were recorded in five out of eight of the evaluation trenches, all within the northern half of the site. These included drains, water pipes, cables, grubbed out foundations, a soakaway and demolition debris and broadly correspond to where hospital buildings are marked on the OS 20th century maps.
